iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

With the `--export kdenlive` option it: - Creates the kdenlive project - Import all the tracks - Syncs the starting point - Adds the webcam as an overlay. Ready for editing or cropping. It also has `--export mp4`, which just renders all tracks to one mp4

My video capture CLI, now supports kdenlive!

It's not too hard to line up, cause you can see thru the cracks as the stencil nears the cookie. But I didn't understand the first part of your question, can you rephrase pls 🙏

Built a screen recorder today. It's just a CLI, ctrl+c to stop recording

Also added a system tray icon. Clicking it stops the recording and saves it.

000

Advantages over OBS - It's CLI based. Just hit CTRL+C to save recordings. - Can make reusable scripts with your preferred settings. - Easy to put in a launcher

Replaced OBS with an ffmpeg wrapper (via Astra) Code: github.com/joshnuss/sna...

Astra + FreeCAD workflow: I needed a replacement piece for a broken banister. I gave Astra a photo of the broken piece and it created the CAD model in 2 minutes. It's printing now..

000

Linux will likely overtake Apple and Microsoft because of this.

021

Open Source is even more important now. Projects like Linux, FreeCAD, OpenOffice are easy for AIs to read and modify While closed source projects like Windows, Office and SolidWorks are black boxes

231

What I learned is that CAD modeling and 3D printing workflows are quite a lot easier with Astra.

Learning about AI + CAD + 3D printing Exploration: Turn a logo into a cookie cutter and frosting stencil It's a pipeline of: - Image processing (numpy, pillow, scipy, shapely) - CAD model generation (freecad) - Preview rendering (blender) - 3D slicing (orca slicer cli) - 3D printing (creality)

Start making stuff: Install Codex and buy a $200 3D printer

A Cambrian Explosion of 3D printing is coming.

Josh Nussbaum @joshnuss.com · 10/09/2026

Astra can build 3D-printable CAD models, from just words, a photo or a sketch.

good point, i should have mentioned that doc type comments are fine.

010

now we just need a skill for claude code

200

Another example: // this function formats a name and returns a string function toString(x): string { // .. } Instead: 1. rename so it's clearer. 2. remove surporfluous comments 3. consider moving it to add context // in src/utils.ts export function format(name: string): string { // ... }

220

Dont write this: // this is the price, it sometimes includes discount and tax let x = .. Limit the comments! Instead, put the gist of the comment in the name, and delete the comment: let totalPrice = ...

120

Comments are often a crutch for bad naming. - They make code harder to maintain (more to read) - It gets out of sync with the code (confusing) - In the age of AI, it costs extra tokens 😅

Comments should never describe code. Code should describe code.

- Supports AWS, GCP, Hetzner, Digital Ocean, Vultr, and Akamai/Linode - Deploys to a single node or multiple nodes - Fully dockerized deploys - Uses buildpacks to support a wide array of languages and frameworks - Configures common services (http/nginx, ssl certs, postgres, mysql, redis, etc..)

Built a script to reduce fees for hosting my apps ✨ Now my only monthly fee is the bare hosting, which can be as little as $5/month 💸

Josh Nussbaum @joshnuss.com · 26/08/2026

Was just reading this, (from the book "Field guide to Lies") So easy to lie with charts

Building an API, halfway through: $> claude "switch to graphql" Couple minutes later, it's done 😳

This is what the print looks like

I used AI to 3D-print this cactus shelf (for my aunt). Here's my workflow:

201

Josh Nussbaum @joshnuss.com · 20/08/2026

It also supports realtime updates 😁

Josh Nussbaum @joshnuss.com · 20/08/2026

Instead of this living in 3 different services

Cool benefit of writing analytics (requests), logs and errors to same db: Can query requests with all it's logs and any errors thrown in a single view.

200

💯 Purpose built is the way to go, avoid the bloat and the bill.

010

I'm slowly replacing my hosting bill with AI built stuff

110

Built an uptime monitor with Claude. It took less than 1 hour to build..

For sure, overkill can be a pain
